Chen Ping's words were truly from the bottom of his heart. After all, supports don't need to do much during team fights.
Using your support skills at the right time, and not dying before doing so, is enough for the rest of the team.
But even with such simple requirements, how many supports can actually do it?
Knowing when to run in danger, knowing you can't beat anyone, so never causing unnecessary trouble, and even jumping out to draw fire to buy time for the carry to recover if absolutely necessary—
that's what a perfect support is!
The best warrior doesn't boast of victories; a support who is barely noticeable is a good support.
If Tang Xiaolong... Wang Xiaolong could really master the Ghostly Shadow Step...
I can't speak for others, but as long as his teammates don't act incompetently in the future, before he gets caught and killed by the enemy's agility-based Soul Master, the enemy's support will definitely have been knocked away by their own agility-based Soul Master for quite some time.
Ghost Shadow Step, while called a technique, is actually a genuine self-created Soul Skill in the Douluo Continent!
Tang San started with only an unawakened Blue Silver Grass, and apart from his cultivation speed being the same as a top-tier Martial Soul, all his other attributes were terribly weak.
How did he manage to crush Soul Masters of the same level?
It was all thanks to his Tang Sect's ultimate techniques.
Other Soul Masters at the third ring only have three skills, but Tang San has at least three Soul Skills.
+ Eight Spider Lances
+ Mysterious Jade Hand
+ Crane Control Dragon Capture
+ Ghost Shadow Step
+ Hundred Hidden Weapon Solutions
+ Tang Sect Poison Scripture
And a whole bunch of other usable
"self-created Soul Skills."
Three skills against eight or nine skills—how can you fight that?
However, this also indirectly shows how useless the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is for control-type positions.
Even though Tang San had so many more soul skills than other soul masters of the same level, after fighting opponents at level 35 and above in Soul Battles, he still realized the weakness of his Blue Silver Grass martial soul.
It was only when Tang San reached level 40 that a round of enhancement to his martial soul with a celestial herb occurred, and at level 50, his martial soul directly evolved into the Blue Silver King, skipping the point when the Blue Silver Grass martial soul was at its weakest.
Otherwise, Tang San might have even been at risk of being crushed by opponents of the same level.
It has to be said, the middle-aged man was tempted.
He had previously worked as a mercenary in the Soul Beast Forest and knew how highly sought-after a reliable support was.
After a round of Soul Hunting, besides the captain, the most profitable were usually the experienced support members of the team; no one dared to say they hadn't used their skills someday.
Ghost Shadow Step + Blue Silver Grass support—this combination seemed really tempting.
Especially in wild Soul Hunting, the multiplier amplification wasn't as important as in Soul Battles.
Adding 20-30% to damage or speed generally wouldn't affect the overall situation.
However, in the event of an accident, a support character who can heal a person is truly a second parent.
The middle-aged man quickly realized a crucial question: what kind of spirit beast's spirit ring could the Blue Silver Grass spirit absorb to transform into a support type?
For over ten thousand years, although the Tang Sect was arguably the sect with the deepest research on the Blue Silver Grass spirit, they had never considered the issue of Blue Silver Grass transforming into a control type.
Their research focused on how to improve the innate spirit power of Blue Silver Grass spirit masters and replicating Tang San's growth path.
This is why Wang Xiaolong's innate spirit power was so much higher than that of Blue Silver Grass spirit masters ten thousand years ago—a full two and a half levels higher.
This was one of the Tang Sect's research achievements: by constantly having Blue Silver Grass spirit masters with innate spirit power marry other spirit masters with spirit power (not ordinary people),
and then spending a fortune to purchase pills from the Sun Moon Empire that forcibly extracted potential to increase spirit power levels, they provided these pills free of charge to Tang Sect spirit masters who inherited the Blue Silver Grass spirit and possessed innate spirit power.
By raising the cultivation levels of these Blue Silver Grass spirit masters, this cycle was repeated endlessly.
Finally, after more than ten thousand years of persistent effort, the Tang Sect is now able to stably cultivate Blue Silver Grass spirit masters at the level of three-ring Soul Masters and even four-ring Soul Grandmasters.
As for the fact that the sect's accumulated wealth over so many years has been squandered generation after generation by this extravagant project, leading to the entire Tang Sect collapsing... do
n't go asking around about that. Just look at the current Blue Silver Grass spirit masters compared to ten thousand years ago, when they were either born with no spirit power or had only level one spirit power. Isn't that a huge improvement?
Seeing the middle-aged man's conflicted expression, Chen Ping immediately understood his hesitation and said, "You can rest assured about the recommendations for hunting spirit beasts."
"We're not the kind of people who take money and don't deliver. One order of spirit master career planning plus spirit beast hunting recommendations guarantees your child a smooth career transition to become a support-type spirit master." "
Regarding hunting spirit beasts, considering the difficulty, I previously recommended the Gem Crystal Insect to my child.
It's common, easy to catch, and not very aggressive.
Just find a blunt weapon-wielding spirit master to help knock it a few times." "
Originally, this type of spirit beast would produce spirit rings with amplifying effects for gem-type support spirit masters, or spirit skills similar to Mirror Defense for defensive spirit masters."
"However, if a spirit beast with the Blue Silver Grass spirit absorbs a Gem Crystal Insect, it will most likely directly produce a Life Force Reflection spirit skill." "
After that, when hunting spirit beasts, you only need to choose those with strong life force.
As long as the effect of the first spirit skill, Life Force Reflection, gets stronger and stronger, you don't need to worry about being eliminated by your teammates."
"Really...really?"
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up. The combination of different martial souls and soul beasts was a family tradition in the Douluo Continent, extremely precious.
For example, the four classic soul skills of the White Tiger Duke lineage—the White Tiger Protective Shield, White Tiger Blazing Light Wave, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, and White Tiger Demon God Transformation—were ridiculed as unchanging for ten thousand years.
Which soul beast to hunt to reliably produce these four soul skills required trial and error!
Ordinary soul master academy teachers could only combine the type of martial soul and soul beast to speculate whether a soul beast was suitable for a soul master, and whether the resulting soul skill would suit them—that was a matter of luck.
Originally, he thought Chen Ping's consultation fee was far too high, simply taking advantage of his young child and his wife's lack of assertiveness to swindle several gold soul coins from them.
But if Chen Ping's words were true, then those gold soul coins were well worth the money!
Many things are worthless if they don't find the right person, but once they do, they become priceless treasures.
Perhaps Chen Ping's family possesses a record of a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master absorbing a Gem Crystal Insect Soul Ring and generating a life force refraction soul skill, which has remained unused for centuries.
But if it were to actually be used, it would be enough to change the fate of a person, or even an entire family.
For a moment, the middle-aged man's expression even became a little reserved, recalling the conspicuous "GG" label on Chen Ping's bamboo basket.
